Spain: Authorities discover dead man in dinosaur’s crack

NYP:

The death of a 39-year-old man is being investigated after his body was found inside a papier-mâché dinosaur statue in a Barcelona suburb.

According to the Latin Times, Catalonian newspaper La Vanguardia reported Saturday that police were alerted to the corpse after residents in the Santa Coloma de Gramenet neighborhood saw what looked like a human leg through a crack in the Stegosaurus sculpture —while also noticing a foul smell.

Firefighters were called to the scene and forced to cut open the statue to reveal the body inside.

The body was that of a man who had been reported missing, according to Euro News Weekly, though no foul play is suspected. Spanish media has reported that the unnamed man had somehow dropped his cellphone inside the giant figure, fell inside while trying to retrieve it and was unable to climb out or call for help.

Meanwhile, the statue, which had been used by a now-defunct cinema for advertising purposes, has been removed from the public square.

  1. …welp, +100 for creative, if not entirely effective, body disposal, although you can’t discount the possibility that it’s some paleontological fetish gone horribly wrong at this point either, not really buying the “cell phone” thing until someone looks to see if he had something on a Clinton…

  2. …in all seriousness, tho, it IS totally possible to die with a cell phone in your hand that you rerieved and got trapped getting WHILE TALKING TO THE POLICE ON IT AND BEGGING FOR HELP.

    …the diverse force in Cincinnati proved THAT beyond the shadow of a doubt…

    …it’s a mystery to ME how this happened because we wouldn’t have given up so easy in MY day, but the City does things their own way and times have changed, and not for the better, and it’s pretty tough to get some of the plus sized diversity hires out of their cars to actually DO something…

  4. “An autopsy is being performed to confirm the cause of death, according to the Latin Times.”

    Spare the autopsy, very simple explanation “he got devoured by a dinosaur.” He slipped through the crack.

  5. …this would be a better story if the word order were changed, as discovering a dead dinosaur in a man’s crack would inspire just a bit more curiosity…
